Who is this for?
Yellow belt is the next step up from white belt and is ideal for those people who want to know more and build upon the basics of Lean Sigma. Yellow belts are actively involved in structured problem solving and root cause analysis and as such often play a leading role in process/project improvement initiatives. They use structures and frameworks gained during their training to instil and promote a change in culture and companies to become problem solving organisations.

We like to tailor the training to suit organisations own individual needs. To this end, on day 2 we encourage a real life ‘problem/issue’ from the organisation be brought to the session. This enables us to reinforce and build on the theory that we have covered and start to relate that to the workplace. We feel this makes it easier to absorb and apply the new techniques and equally importantly, acts as a springboard to ensure sustainability and ensure Lean is successful and benefits are highly visible.
To further embed the learning. We recommend follow up ‘on site’ mentoring and support to ensure a thorough understanding of the key skills learned during training are applied and sustained in your organisation. Suggested details of this are attached on a separate document.
